Being in Boston yesterday in the
wholesale Silk department of r. III.
White & Co., they were speaking of
My 80 cent "Odd Silk Sale" that has
developed SO much enthusiasm.
They said that they had a lot of new
styles of Summer Silks in nice dark
shades, lined of with hair lines, very
handsome effects.
Having only about GOO yards of
them it was not worth while putting
them in their retail store to make
noise over
So they suggested that take them
down to Portland and put them in
my 90 cent "odd Silk Sale.
took the lot and-this in the con-
} fidential part of it-instead of asking
30 cents for them am going to excite
somebody by running them at 37A cts.
a yard, which makes them
Cheaper than Spring poetry, and
twice as nutritious.
They win make nice graduating
dresses, lovely wedding and party
costums, or effective election suits
when the ladies vote, Though more
then suspect they will be out of fash
ion long before that day.
These checked Summer Silks at 37l
cts. yard.
Together with the balance of our
Odd lot Of Colored Silks at so cts.
yard are in our big corner window
where everybody can see them.
No samples of these will be cut,
but everybody win have a chance to

Remarkable Cure of Little Girl
Read Ii.
Il think 1t is my duty to tell how much good
HOODS Sarsaparilla has done my little girl. She
was from birth puny, pale, and sckly, and did not
seem 70 gam strength as she grew older. She
should have been able to walk when a year to a
year ana half old, but even when three years of
age she
COULD NOT STAND ALONE.
She ate hardly anything, and seemed to be weak
eonstitutlonaly, but was doubtless kept back by
impure blood which caused her much discomfort
and suffering She had scald-head terribly her
mead being covered with one sore. One day
read IN Hoods Item Of a remarkable cure of a
enid by Hoods Sarsaparila, ana decided to try
this medicine, To say that
WAS AsTONIsHED
at the effect the first bottle had upon her would
be mild way OF expressing my feelings. Her APP
petite began to pick up, and soon we could hardly
give her enough 10 eat. She also gained strength,
could stand alone, and the sore on her head began
TO grow less. We soon healed this up with Hoods
Olive Ointment, and when she had taken three
bottles of Hoods SarSaparia she could run about
the house as smart as any child. She has been a
BRIGHT AND HEALTHY
ever since. / write this out Of pure gratitude to
Hoods Sarsaparllla." EDWARD L. ALEXANDER,

the change. Last Saturday duties on

Within the present year arrangements
have been made in England for granting
extensive subsidies to steamship lines in
the Pacific &c an in connection with the
Canadian Pacific railroad. So far as the
routes to New Zealand and Australia were
concerned, the crown colonies were ex-
pected to offer subsidies by which the
San Francisco mail service might be
broken up. But in order 10 establish a
new steamship route TO China and
Japan, England mas agreed TO pay
S225 900 for monthly mails, and 800 600
for tOrtnightly service, provided Cana.
